No; ASM is not particular. Columns 1, 10, 16 are preferred; labels have 
to start in column 1, and opcodes one or more blanks afterwards. 
Continuations start in 16 (but may start with one or more significant 
blanks; e.g. a quoted string),and a continuation indicator must be in 
72. Some versions of the assemblers allow user overrides.
